I’m also the current Creative Executive at Bee Holder Productions and working on developing multiple TV series and films.
Fulfillment
The only human worker at an Amazon-like fulfillment center develops an unlikely romantic relationship with the center's A.I. after the world outside collapses. But, when a human survivor arrives at their door, the trio must learn to co-exist, even as the A.I. is convinced that their guest has come to sabotage more than their relationship.
It’s not just a sci-fi thriller, or the love story between a human and an AI, but a look at our culture’s race-to-the-bottom consumer lifestyle. There are explorations of what it means to be human, a creative, a member of society and what drives us to connection.
Fulfillment won the Grand Prize at Screenplay Festival and was a second rounder at Austin Film Festival. It is not available to read currently due to it being optioned and in development with Escape Artists.
Found
In the 1920s, a team of scientists forms to investigate the appearance of cryptozoological creatures, only to discover a greater existential threat to the world. Even as Dr. Novella is vindicated in their fringe research, it could expose his well-kept secret to society and endanger their very existence.
This TV series was written as an homage to my love of both The X-Files and cryptozoological creatures. As much as it is about uncovering hidden weirdness in the natural world and a love of science, it’s also a show about identity and the search for family. Dr. Novella is based on Dr. James Barry, born in 1789 as Margaret Ann Bulkley who then lived his adult life and brilliantly practiced medicine as a man until his death in 1865. It was a time where certain professions were beyond the reach of women and the identities of non-binary and trans people were erased.
Hard hitting journalist Lydia Lee takes the world's most famous super powered hero, Omni, to court for sexual assault after he rescues her from a disaster. During the high profile case, Lydia is tried in the eyes of the public, treated as a pariah, and attacked for attempting to speak truth to super power.
A self-contained episode of "Project: Supers," an original anthology series that explores the dark implications of super-powered beings in the real world. Rodrigo and I created this as an alternative take on superhero stories where we’re supposed to care about the juiced-up inhumans who live out our power fantasies. The reality is we’d be in a world out of control and normal humans and their institutions would face serious crisis after crisis in the face of unstoppable powers. Even today the rich and influential prey upon hopefuls and destroy lives with impunity. Imagine Harvey Weinstein with the abilities of Superman…
If power corrupts, super power corrupts absolutely.
Mad Jack Churchill
Based on the true story of John "Mad Jack" Churchill, a British officer who fought Nazi forces in World War II wielding a broadsword and longbow. An inveterate soldier, Mad Jack learns the true nature of conflict once captured and held in a concentration camp. Befriending a Jewish inmate, he comes to understand the value of fighting for a cause larger than his own glory.
Young Guns N’ Roses: The Spaghetti Western Incident
In the Wild West, filled with big guns and even bigger hair, Axl Rose puts the notorious Rose Gang back together to derail a pack of train bandits, but an old nemesis threatens to tear the outlaw band apart.
This is an 80s action adventure and fantasy western in every sense of the terms. It was written purely out of celebration of the over-the-top music and attitude of one of the world’s most famous and notorious rock bands, reimagining them as an actual gang. Want to see Metallica as gun runners? Lemmy Killmeister as a crazy prospector? Ozzy as a tribal shaman? Amid the gun battles and dissing on Bon Jovi, it’s all here as the Rose Gang takes down Mr. Brownstone and his deadly Night Train…
